The HTC Inspire™4G is a stunning, 4.3-inch super LCD smartphone running on Android 2.2 smartphone and the first in North America to feature the next-generation HTC Sense™ platform with cloud services. The new Sense platform can pinpoint on a map a lost phone, send a command to sound an alert on the handset, and remotely wipe the phone’s data with a single command through http://www.htcsense.com/. Inspire 4G also delivers an 8-megapixel camera and a HD video recorder. The HTC Inspire 4G will include a 1 GHZ processor, while also boasting a premium, aluminum unibody design. For more information, visit www.att.com/inspire4G (website available after 10 a.m., PT on Jan. 5). This device is slated for launch in the first quarter of 2011, only for AT&T customers.

I would say definitely no to the front facing camera. This is the same as the Desire HD and it does not have the FFC.
I love this phone with the exception of no ffc, no kickstand and a crappy battery. I wish we could get the HTC thunderbolt/mecha/incredible hd whatever it's going to be called in Canada. Perhaps I'll look at the Moto Atrix when it comes to Bell or this phone. One of them will likely be my next phone.

Been waiting, patiently (fabrication), for the Desire Hd to hit. This is certainly the exact same phone with a north american name. Now all we need is a release date....

no FFC, no problem (for me). i will be getting this when it drops

Too freaking big.
Plus, the Atrix > Inspire.

Thats just your opinion though. its not that big when you actually see it.
Plus, Atrix isnt out yet, this is.

The battery worries me.

I really like it!

Any phone in 2011 with a screen that big, a 4G radio, and a 1230 mAh battery is a waste, IMO.
HTC needs to stop recycling phones and come out with something worth paying for.
They're single-handedly making a mockery out of Android when it comes to battery life.
Impatiently awaiting the ATRIX 4G as well. 1930 Battery and the other features... It is the phone I've always dreamed of.

Only 5mpx camera?
No HTC?
.......

Don't see the need for a camera above 5 MP. Can you give me an example of an advantage other than "bigger pictures?" (I have an 8.1 MP point and shooter).
Don't care what manufacturer or skin the phone runs as long as it works and gets decent support - which Moto typically gives to their flagships.
HTC can be as great as they want, but if they expect me to pay that price for a big phone with an HD2-level battery, they're on crack (had 2 HD2's here, I know what it's like ). All of their phones with that battery size suffer from poor battery life (HD2, Evo, HD7, etc.). The phone can be awesome, but when I'm struggling to get through 2/3 of the day it's useless. Plus, HTC has a habbit of putting rather poor screens in their 4.3" phones (Glary as hell, washed out colors, and the worst viewing angles imaginable).
The Moto has several advantages over the HTC, not to mention Motorola is building much better Exchange support into their phones, among other things...
Dockability, Screen Resolution (960*540), Battery (1930), Screen type, RAM (1G), Storage (16G internal + 32G SD), better CODEC and DRM support...
It's going to be a first-class workhorse.
This is a poor 2011 debut for HTC, IMO.
I only wish the Atrix had real buttons instead of Capacitive, like the Droid X.

I've seen videos and it's too big. 4" screen is as big as I want to go. Some people might like monsters I guess but I certainly don't.
The battery and many other things kills the HTC. This is 2011, they need to get with the program.
Atrix is out this quarter and for a better phone most people can wait a couple months.

Not sure where the 5MP camera thing comes from, ATT lists on their site that it's 8MP, same as the desire HD.
Sans battery life, I'm excited for this phone, especially since it means I can finally tell my iPhone to gtfo.
It's been a while since I've been on here, probably at least 2 years, miss you guys.
My hope is that because of the potential popularity in the US, we'll be able to get more (and bigger) batteries released.
If not, I may have to just wait my contract out and jump ship for the Thunderbolt.

Same here, I love this phone.... or at least the concept of this phone, anyway.

The Inspire does not have a front facing camera. I would love to have a GSM version of the EVO but on AT&T. The MyTouch4g on T-Mobile is the only phone on the GSM market comparable to the EVO.

as I said earlier - all good phones go around T-Mobile. Which is sucks for me

Well, this is in theory an upgrade. I do agree though, I'd really like to have the kickstand as well as a door that came completely off, so as to allow for easier battery upgrades.
Wish AT&T was getting the Thunderbolt. It's the best of both worlds, Evo build with updated specs.
If my contract was over sooner, I'd buy a Thunderbolt on the Verizon LTE network. Not that I need LTE, but I'd like the kick stand and battery options. I also wouldn't mind toying with the FFC, though that's not a necessity.

If you really want a kickstand, I'm pretty sure that there will be a case with one built in. I saw some kid using an iPod touch with a green case that had a kickstand in it.

[SPECS] LG G Flex 2 Specifications

Hey all
This is LG's second attempt in the flex series of smartphones. This version features an updated 1080p screen from the outgoing 720p display found in the first version, but LG has made the decision to reduce the display size to 5.5 inches from 6 inches, making the device a little more pocket friendly. LG have also increased the curve from 2 points to 4, they claim making the device feel even more natural in the hand. The device is also one of the first to boast the snapdragon 810 chipset, which offers 64 bit instruction set and access to LPDDR4 RAM. The processor itself is made using a 20nm process, increasing the devices power efficiency. The flex 2 also offers the latest Adreno™ 430 GPU, offering 30% better performance, 20% less power usage than last generation of snapdragon chipset. Coming in with 2 versions, a 16 GB with 2 GB of RAM and a 32 GB offering 3 GB.
But the standout feature is that curved display, what do members make of it, useful feature, or just another gimmick?

Doubt it, if you flex it a bit now and then it would break the coil.

To be honest, the phone curving is really note useful.

Maybe not for you, but for us who owned or used a G Flex mostly loves it. There are millions of other flat phones, you didn't need to come here and waste time.

I am disappointed in the RAM. They should be offering 3 standard, with an option for 4. Other than that, it is impressive.

why are they showing a photo of the first g flex in this forum? also it looks like a nice device but i may stay clear of any devices that release with the s810 until they revise it because of overheating.

Any person on XDA would read reviews before buying a device. We'll see by the end of the week, when south Korea gets the first batch, if there is any problem and if so how bad it is. My guess is it's not as bad as media rumours make it sound.

Awesome phone. Will buy soon.

It was a strange situation... I preordered on the 23rd, but my order was canceled. I ordered again today. The first time, the 공시지원금 (not sure how to translate...) was missing. The second time, it was added (so the phone was MUCH cheaper!!). I think all the preorders were canceled to add the 공시지원금.
I think the phone was also available in a few stores starting today, so there should be some unboxings soon.

Thats generalizing saying more mp doesnt equal a better camera and true to a point only.
My note 4 takes far better shots than my note 3 or 2 and guess what..more mp.
In your thinking it should be worse lol. We all know there is much more to a camera than mp dude...goes without saying pretty much.
Perhaps i should have just said im surprised they didnt improve the camera lol?

Sorry I didn't mean to sound like it's the only factor, it just seemed that you really wanted more mp. Apparently they have made some improvements to the ois and the software so it may well give better images than the g3 anyway.

The only thing that I wish it had was image stabilization and an AMOLED screen but for 399$, it's still amazing. Glad they decided to go with the SD card this year. I love the 5.7 inch screen and would even go with 6 inch, but 5.7 puts it at note 4 competition. Motorola should have put the 3600mah battery in both phones, but thank goodness there's a quick charge

I have read that the Moto X Play, despite having a 64-bit SoC, has 32-bit Android.
It's the same for the Moto G, with Google's argument being that 64-bit would be too heavy for a device with 1 GB RAM. But the Moto X Play has 2 GB.
Is this true, and what would be the impact of not having 64-bit Android?

It is running 32-bit Android. Maybe when Android M comes it, Moto may release a 64 bit version

When do new phones usually get their first root kit / ROM?
I've never bought a phone that just came out before, so I'm always used to using ROMS that are customed to my liking. Using vanilla Android is so uncomfortable.

Hey everyone
Excited to get this phone later this year. I am coming from Nexus 4, so I'm in search of a better battery life kind of device, and seems like MXP with the 3600 mAh battery might just get me satisfied!

It'll definitely last you the whole day.

May I ask you (that have the Moto X as a daily driver) what do you think about the quality of the plastic frame?
For me it was kind of a let down when I knew it wasn't metallic. For now it's the only thing make me esitate... (also the 2GB of ram actually )

The plastic frame on the X Play doesn't feel cheap to me. Coming from a Galaxy S6, the Moto X Play feels great.
The only part that feels cheap is the power button. It's loose. It moves up and down slightly when you touch it and it rattles if you shake the phone.
The rest of the build is very solid though. Great feel in the hand.

Does it support Miracast or MHL/Hdmi?

Miracast support is there - I'm currently looking at the XDA app through my TV screen.
With that said, I don't think the Motorola has any support for a wired HDMI connection, unfortunately.

You got the point!
I think Amoled displays can really benefit of active display: just the lit pixels are on.
But I can't stand active display's pulsing behaviour of "hey, you git a notification 30 seconds ago and you didn't check it!"
I'm perplexed about how bigger the Play is! Actually the screen/overall size ratio is a little bit better, isn't it?
And then the hardest point: price! Not the stock price but the actual street price you can find: moto X play seems to be cheaper, for what you get, after all.

I'm actually just surprised there seems to be zero development so far. The only recovery we have is from the osprey (2015 G), and thus we have root. I know this isn't released in the US, but didn't think most devs were from there honestly. The G has a ton in comparison! Lol. So eager for a kernel that maximizes efficiency while also eliminating lag.

This phone isn't widely available and it's an "in-between" model. Most people will either be on a budget and opt for the G or want the best specs and opt for the X Style.
For me, the one and only real selling point of this phone was the battery. I think most power users are used to charging part way through the day and don't really look at battery size as a big selling feature.
It also doesn't help that reviews haven't painted this "massive" battery in a good light. And they're not wrong. I am able to get about 20% more battery life out of this 3630mAh battery than several other phones I've had with batteries in the 2400-2700mAh range. More battery is good, but I gave up a lot of stuff for a phone that is less fluid and missing sensors just for a meager boost in battery life.
Honestly, if I could find someone to take my Moto X Play off my hands, I'd gladly go back to the Moto G. Comparable battery life, better performance, and tons of ROM/modding support.

The size of the battery is undeniable. It is ultimately up to the software you're running on the phone. I have high hopes for the future of the Moto X Play once it's availability becomes more widespread.

I stated in another thread. I think that the true signal is going to be great because signal on the g3 for me is bad.... And this looks more promising than any other phones coming out.....

I was eagerly awaiting a Nexus device but considering the pathetic specs of the 5x and the fact that the 6p won't be in stores has me really considering LG once again. I'm really excited about that 4GB of ram for this new device. I may not be interested in a dual screen phone though if this is what is coming. LG so far is really good at having a large single display and keeping overall dimensions to a minimum. Simply adding an additional screen would make it overall too big.

G$ vs V10

Great phone! Time to upgrade from LG G Pro 2

So it looks like a no brainer. I guess this is my next device but it's a little bigger than I really wanted to go. I guess I could go without a big bulky case on the V10 though considering it's very durable. Does anyone know if LG is still releasing an LG G4 Pro, or is that not happening this year?

Time to put my HTC ONE MAX to sleep. The LG V10 was the rumored G4 Pro.
Sent from my HTC6600LVW using Tapatalk

Can't wait for the V10! Been switching between my aging LG Nexus 4, and my Samsung Note 4 (Not a big fan). My Nexus 4 has always been my favorite phone, can't wait to be daily driving another LG. Props to LG for sticking up for the power users who require a removable battery and SD card slot!

Interesting concept, but I've been wondering for awhile why is it that LG continues to use 3000mAh batteries, can they not improve the capacity?
The G2, G3, G4, Flex 2, and now V10 share the same capacity. Of course the G2 does best with 3K, yet that doesn't explain why 2yrs later they haven't moved to at least 31-3400mAh. From my quick research none of the newer LG's have comparable battery performance to either the OPO/G2, a trait that led me to love my G2.
From my personal experience newer LG's (going off of screen time provided by others) are comparable to the original Optimus G, which was between 4-5hrs (or G1 I suppose). LG is great with implementing strange features like dual this, dual that, flexible this, leather that. Yet, not much has changed for battery.

So it looks like a no brainer. I guess this is my next device but it's a little bigger than I really wanted to go. I guess I could go without a big bulky case on the V10 though considering it's very durable. Does anyone know if LG is still releasing an LG G4 Pro, or is that not happening this year?

Pretty sure the V10 is the rumored "G4 Pro"

Interesting concept, but I've been wondering for awhile why is it that LG continues to use 3000mAh batteries, can they not improve the capacity?
The G2, G3, G4, Flex 2, and now V10 share the same capacity. Of course the G2 does best with 3K, yet that doesn't explain why 2yrs later they haven't moved to at least 31-3400mAh. From my quick research none of the newer LG's have comparable battery performance to either the OPO/G2, a trait that led me to love my G2.

Good question. What about my G3 with 538 ppi screen? Still better than most new phones, I love this phone and I still think its beautiful in white with the metal edge. Now you see why I'm torn on any upgrade.
With the battery, it would make sense to keep using 3k mah when a lot of the new phones are still lower. Especially if LG can keep using at least part of the same battery mfg process to save on retooling and set-up costs. Maybe they feel like battery life is still competitive so they're not investing R&D money there.
Anyway, I'm ready for a change and I'm 85% sure it's going to be a Nexus 6P in Frost white!

I really want to go for the Nexus 6P but the AMOLED screen is a major turn off for me.
This doesn't look to shabby but having just dropped $600 on a G4 that has some annoying touchscreen issues I'm not too happy with LG at the moment.

Will stick to my G2. Only true upgrade would be RAM but I can survive with 2GB for now. Camera on G2 is alright and honestly 5.2" isn't exactly small.
More than 2 years and still not a single mAh extra. I can't understand their approach to the battery either but I can see why they chose snapdragron 808 once again. This will make the G5 stand out even more when they announce that it is powered by the snapdragon 820.

Nice general spec comparison to the iP6+

If it supports Tmo 12 band, I could definitely see myself moving on from my G3. I use the IR Blaster often enough where I don't think I will willingly move to a phone without one, very glad to see it's on the V10.
The only thing missing that would make it perfect for me is stereo front facing speakers, but at least the one speaker faces forwards instead of backwards like on my G3.

Moto Maxx replacement phone

Hey guys, maybe its just that I'm getting bored of this phone but after nearly 2 years I think its time to get a new one.
Been thinking about nexus 2017 lineup, maybe a xiaomi phone or lately (mainly because of its price and battery) the new moto z play. I'm not willing to pay a lot this time as I did 2 years ago.
What do you guys think? would moto z play be a good replacement phone for moto maxx? Is there any other phone you can think of that can be a good replacement?

ZTE Axon 7

It's what Motorola should have done instead of the silly mods on the Moto Z series. It has everything already built in! No need to pay extra cost to add stereo speakers, and such.
Here's ZTE Axon 7 ($400) vs Galaxy S7 Edge ($800)
http://www.phonearena.com/phones/compare/ZTE-Axon-7,Samsung-Galaxy-S7-edge/phones/10068,9818?ft=2
Seriously, look at the specs and realize that's a $400 phone vs an $800 phone!
Just wished it had Qi wireless charging and I'd be buying 3 of them! Instead I'll wait for next year's Samsung Galaxy Edge as Samsung seems to be the only ones still doing Qi wireless. My Quarks will last me another year. We use two daily and I have one in a box -- never touched -- as backup.

The only thing that worries me is updates and the future of the phone....and maybe price a little bit( moto z play would cost me 250 usd )

Your current phone is better than Moto Z Play! 1080p? Snapdragon 600 series?
Last year's LG G4 is even better than Moto Z Play. I didn't know you wanted mid-tier. I thought you were looking at Moto Z. I didn't read well enough.
ZTE AXON 7 will have unlocked bootloader. Devs will be all over it, especially at that price. It has better specs than Nexus will, at Nexus prices. It matches most (and beats a couple) Galaxy S7 Edge specs, at half the price.

Just realized it has SD625, I was thinking it had the 650 or 652 with the A72 cores
If it wasn't cause of you I may have bought it.
Now I'm trying to decide if I buy the Axon 7 or just wait for this year nexus and hope I can afford one

They're less than month away. I say wait, and you if you don't like them / can't afford them get the Axon. Perhaps you can even get a used Axon or a deal then.
Also remember that paying for something good isn't necessarily a bad deal. I paid $800 for my Quark and it's still running great. Never had a phone last me this much.

Told you devs would jump on it.
This dev got unofficial CM13 for it before he even got his phone. Only got his phone today (September 13)... ROM was up days ago (September 8, 2016). Now, he'll start fixing what doesn't work.

Today is a good day We made it to top forum discussions and you finally got your phone!
Really surprised how you even got a build up with fixes while not even having the phone lol.
Can only imagine what you'll do now that you actually have the phone. RIP MiFavor!
Thanks @B4oE for making it possible.

Again, just wished it had Qi wireless charging and I'd be buying three of them. Except for that it's about a perfect phone, at least specs on paper. Good dev work will make it even better.

The now also have TWRP.
